The beginning of the summer is the best time to adopt a pet. The kids are out of school, and the family has plenty of time to acclimate their new family member. Plus, what’s more fun than taking a dog to the lake or napping with a cat on the couch?!

Each Memorial Day weekend, the Austin Humane Society offers reduced adoption fees to honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country. This year, the animals just can’t wait that long. Beginning this weekend and going through Veterans Day, veterans and active duty military can adopt for free while the general public can adopt adult dogs and cats for $10 and puppies/kittens for half-price. It is our hope that members of our armed forces will find comfort and peace through the companionship of a homeless animal from AHS.
